The question of making laces OF
iron and steel for ladies' and children's
wear is again being discussed in art, mill
and fashion circles. At the Centennial
in 1876 piece of steel rolled by Pitts
burg mill was on exhibition, which was
80 thin and light that it weighed much
less than book leaf, and could be blown
from the hand easier than a piece of pa
per of the same saze. The iron leaf was
rolled on a train of rolls upon which
heavy tank and boiler iron is now rolled,
Expert say that curtains and other fine
laces can be made of soft malleable iron,
and in every way be used with greater
satisfaction than cotton laces. The
sheets will necessarily have to be rolled
down to an exceedingly low gauge, and
then pressed into any desirable pattern
and shape. There will be no trouble in
furnishing iron laces for ladies' and
children's wesr, with their names and
other ornaments in 6lagree design. An
introduction of steel lace would estab.
lish in Pittsburg an industry that would
give work to at least 5000 men, and con-
sumo annually not less than $4,000 tons
of steel, which is now drug in the
market, at less than two cents pound
Steel lace, unlike cotton, can be made
light or heavy without affecting the
grade, color or brightness. We may YET
see fashionable ladies wearing steel
shawls and trimmings for their hats and
dresses.

LIFE OF A STREET CAR HORSE

Retired From Public Service After Five
Six Years and Then Sold.
Whether it is mental strain which cventu-
ally ruins the constitution of the car horse |
don't pretend to know. but the fact remains
that, after enjoying public life for five or six
years, they are retired. The retirement is
sometimes congenial, but oftener not. Many
learned men believe that horse is wiser in
quiet way than some human beings. If
this is true, does not the young colt, scamper-
ing about at viii in the field of its first
owner, dream of the days of ease which will
follow the years of work to como! 1t has TIE

reasons for the premature age of car horses is
that at all times while on duty they are COM
pelled to stop suddenly and with but little
warning. Such violent treatment has a
wearing effect and is evidenced by the fast
